Why we will not tout our SEO Services

You’ll likely run into quite a few companies, consultants and “gurus” who will offer you you magical “voodoo” services for one of two things: extremely low or extremely high fees when discussing search engine optimization.

When you run into these people, we would suggest turning around and running as quickly as possible. SEO is not magical. SEO is practical, planned and should be extremely predictable.

That’s what we do here at Honeypot, create a plan that makes sense to you and for your business. A plan that is actionable and one that makes sense to your business today.

Internet and digital marketing is becoming increasingly critical to businesses of all levels, ignoring your plan today will cost real dollars tomorrow. You might be asking yourself, why is a modern SEO plan important today? Let’s dig into that topic in more detail.

Now more than ever before, we’re interconnected through these new and exciting technologies. Search engines have adapted to this reality and are a part of daily lives, our job at Honeypot is to work with you to develop a modern and effective strategy which we can execute and grow your business.

What does any of this really mean for your business?

It means all of your potential consumers are walking around with incredibly powerful computers in their hands and in their pockets. More than ever there is an immediacy to their lives and the ability make decisions, contact, locate and interact with businesses in real time like never before.

Local

Google understands where you are located when you issue a search, those results are relevant to you based on your physical location. A search in Palm Beach, Florida will deliver vastly different results for the same term than a search issued in Salt Lake City, Utah. The localization trend is growing, it’s an important feature for search engines because it’s an important feature for human beings.

Personalized

The key to search results is personalization. Search engines now deliver results based on your activity in search, social and online. Gone are the days of “dominating search results” and a static notion of ranking #1. Admittedly, they are not gone but personalization is changing the way you see your world from search engine results. Adapting to the changes in personalized search means connecting with your consumers, fans and advocates

Mobile

The world is going mobile, whether it’s a tablet, smartphone, or wearable computer, the days of the desktop dominating a relatively small captive audience are gone. Being prepared for the mobile shift means your search strategy needs to take this consumer behaviour into account. Your customers are on the road, looking for you when they are able to visit your location, if they can find your easily via their mobile device, you’ve opened up some obvious and incredible opportunities.

Semantic

The Semantic Web. Often misunderstood and often explained incorrectly. You see the semantic web every day likely without realizing that you’re doing so. The semantic web is the display of information that is not described with the typical text reference to it, the semantic web is all about giving a search result “meaning”. For example, when I Google Leonardo Da Vinci, the results point to all of the contexts and ways that someone may want to learn about that historic figure. Gone are the days of the single webpage about Leonardo Da Vinci.

Social

Our social networks are more than just a list of people we are connected to on a website. They reflect our real world relationships within the context of my life. Quite simply the social web puts us as individuals in the centre of that solar system. Search is embracing that and delivering results which are meaningful to me as a person. Integrating social signals into your search strategy is something we need to consider very seriously.

What is the process? What can I expect?

Step 1 : Developing your Search Marketing Plan

When we begin working together, we will learn about your current plan, the team and your business. Getting to know each other is a critical first step in the process and sets the tone for your entire program.

As we begin to work with you, you will see a process unfold that is entirely practical and transparent. Our process is agile. We develop a plan that moves with you, adjusts to your business and is flexible enough to grow as you grow and evolve. Your plan is documented, shared and thoroughly explained to all members of your team.

We’ll work with your team to understand what is needed, what your priorities are and how we can work with you to create an effective program that will carry you forward through the ever changing landscape of internet and digital search marketing.

Step 2 : Defining the Strategy and Business Goals

Now that we’ve learned about your business and begun the process of developing your modern SEO strategy so it dovetails with your business goals and team we’re ready to get down to crystallizing your plan in a clear and concise manner.

Our strategic playbook will lead us to develop tactics that will achieve our overall strategy. Our tactics will typically span the following functions:

Technical search optimization on your website

Information architecture

Content development

Online PR

As we define the tactics, we will insert these into an executable flight calendar, setting goals, release dates and defining our Key Performance Indicators for the program.

Clear and simple. Now it’s go time…

Step 3 : Developing the Search Marketing Backlog and Sprinting

We’ve mentioned the word “agile” as it applies to our methodology. The agile methodology was born out of a need for a superior software development process, with our background in software development and as modern marketers we have fully embraced an agile marketing process.

Gone is the quarterly SEO tome, see you later Gannt charts and the old world of “waterfall” SEO practices. We’ll develop 2 week timelines, sprint ahead, reviewing, analyzing and distilling analytics into action.

Every day, ask your burning questions to our team – and get prompt expert replies.

Our team becomes a part of your team at Honeypot. We’re responsive, agile and we take our commitment to our clients very seriously.

All in all, Dan’s energy, his sense of humour and his deep insights into the whole SEM world made it a joy to work with him…especially when he can take a subject like SEO and explain it to right-brain designers with the same inspiration a great leader can explain complex strategy to the rank and file

“I have worked for Dan throughout 2009 on myriad internet marketing projects spanning several multi-million dollar online properties. How can I better say that which has been said in other recommendations. Dan is truly an “SEO Magician” whose wizardry has brought our “bread and butter” sites to new levels of search engine exposure and our new sites from complete obscurity to top competitors. I can only hope some of this magic has worn off on me as well!”

“Dan is the most skilled internet marketer I’ve worked with. His grasp of SEO and all related disciplines is second to none in the industry. In our time working together, I saw Dan take our company from being fairly irrelevant in the search world, and bring it to #1 across the board. Somewhat akin to an online magician, he can conjure up company visibility and traffic like no one I’ve yet worked with. Always a pleasure to work with, Dan’s maturity in the online space and his tireless 24 hour desire to succeed put him at the top of the game.”
